A few days ago, I ran out and bought a LinkSys Wireless Access Point/Router.
"G".

Today I bought a LinkSys wireless print server and a USB Adapter for my other
PC. Both "G".

The print server is doing WPA with the router, no problem.

But the USB Adapter's web page only knew from WEP, so I returned the thing.

About three lost man hours later, I have to wonder: could I have just downloaded
new firmware and flashed the thing to get it to do WPA?

Gone. Deep in the bowels of CompUSA's return bin.

Something that ended in "54G", though. It was the little one that plugs into a
USB port and has it's own little extension cable/stand for locating it somewhere
besides right at the port.

On each of my two other LinkSys products, however, I now notice a "Firmware
Upgrade" option. They want you to have something downloaded already and point
to it via a Common File dialog.
